Computer simulation has greatly shortened the path toward the development of ultrafine water mist fire suppression technology for NanoMist Systems, LLC. NanoMist~(TM) is the trade name for the proprietary process technology of producing, scaling, transporting, and delivering the ultrafine fine water mist system. The fire suppression chemical Halon 1301 was banned after it was identified as an ozone-depleting substance, and the search for newer and safer fire suppression agents continued. Among several other clean agents, the non ozone-depleting chemical HFC-227ea is the most popular agent in use today. It has some limitations, however, because of toxic by-products that may often reach harmful levels, and it also has a global-warming potential. From an environmental and toxicity point of view, ultrafine water mist is an ideal compound. Potentially, it may be a permanent solution for fire suppression technology.
